Jack Frost is here nipping the toes and fingers and forcing the people of Bates County to our red hot selling of fall and winter. goods. There are three things you will always find at Hill’s Cash Store. Best grades of goods in all lines. Ss ONE, FALSE Sam B. Cook Shows That the Globe Democrat’s Claims Re- garding State Taxation are False, Groundiess and Absurd In answer to the repeated charges ofthe Globe-Democrat ugainet the State Board of Equalization, Sam B. Cook writes one of his character- {atic lettersshowing they are ground leas and absurd. To the Editor of the Globe: Democrat: ’ A great newspaper like the Globe- Democrat ought not let its partisan zeal lead it to detract from the well earned prestige of its own state, nor to unfairly or unjustly exalt other states to the detriment of ite own. * * * You state in this morning’s some of yourcontemporaries to dem- onstrate conclusively that yourstate- ment that property assessed by the local assessors in Missouri is valued at one hundred cents on the dollar is the purest fiction. Ihe Globe-Demo- erat could not be purchased to-day for two million of dollars, and if it was asecased on the same basis that the state board values public service corporations, it would be required to pay taxes on at least $750,000, yet the records of the assessor’s offive for the City of St. Louis shows that the Globe-Democrat pays taxes on less than $100,000, or about 5 per cent of its “actual value.” Yourlocal contemporary, the Post- Dispatch, which has much to say ip condemnation of Democratic rule in Missouri, is another striking illustra- tion of the absurdity of your claim that property in Missouri,not assess- ed by she state board pays ona high- Courteous treatment and the lowest Spot Cash prices made on every item, We sell with our guarantee of satisfaction or your money back.

The Post Dispatch is capitalized at a million dollars, fully paid up, and according to its sworn statement, on file in the office of the department of state at Jefferson City, is worth one hundred cents on the dollar.
